    Falafel gyro and mix platter
    Kevin K.

    Glad to see an alternative to a very popular halal place I usually frequent, but this one is closer to home! I was very excited to try this restaurant when I learned of it and eventually had 2 of their items delivered. The packaging of the platter was well above my expectations while the gyro was a little messier than I expected. Right off bat the seasoning of the fries were really good and were somewhat soggy but that may have been due to the fact that it was sitting in a sealed container. The chicken reminded me of an indian-style tandoori chicken with how red it appeared. The tenderness of the chicken was well received as well as that flavor..wow, would be my first time favoring the chicken more than the lamb gyro protein. The lamb was okay, pretty average.. I get really skeptical whenever halal places have cubed gyro meat as it often means that it was packaged or frozen etc. and not prepared fresh off the spit roast slow-cooked over flame. Under it all awaited the amazingly marinated rice soaking up all the juices from the protein that completely took me by surprise as I was half expecting the typical yellow rice here. The rice paired with actual quality salad on the side blew me away and made me forget about "that other halal place." The portion size was excellent and left me full with just the platter but i took a couple bites of the falafel gyro because it looked good despite how messy it was. It was alright, i've had better falafel but this one was above average i'll give it that. The gyro takes the same salad as that which was in the platter with some falafel. It comes down to whether you are in a pita flatbread kind of mood or a rice mood that day. I really preferred their platter. Both can be topped with their white sauce, spicy red sauce, bbq sauce, green sauce, mango habanero sauce, honey bbq and ranch sauce. I recommend going crazy with the sauces hehe. I look forward to coming in person to their brick and mortar location when the weather permits to get a better representation of what their service is like and if it tastes any better fresh off the grill. The physical location I heard is in a rather spicy spot in town so I would advise caution and be aware of your surroundings. Will update my review in the future! Update: was expecting the food to come out piping hot while hearing the chef at work in the kitchen and none of my expectations were met when I ordered at their physical location. Experience was exactly as if I had the food delivered which is kind of disappointing considering I was dining in.

    I tried this at the recommendation of my wife and people with whom she works. I did not know what to expect. I had never had halal food before. I will be having it again. I got the chicken over fries with white sauce. The chicken is marinated and seasoned. It practically falls apart in your mouth. It has a little heat to it, not overwhelming. The seasoned fries are really good too. Not just some frozen seasoned fry, this is a homemade season and it shows. My wife got the falafel platter. The falafel is great. Her favorite part is the salad. She would eat just that if it was on the menu. She got it with hot sauce and it has a nice kick to it. I would get this again.

    My best friend showed me this place and was super excited to show me. The restaurant is super clean and very bright. We were greeted nicely and had our order taken quick. I say we waited about 20 min for our food which was great. Oh my gosh the wings were to die for! I don't think I could ever get wings from anywhere else it was so good. Their fries are also nicely seasoned. Their white sauce on top of the wings just gave it that extra push that I love. Since the first time I've been back twice and I'm about to go for a third time and I'm so excited. I've been raving about it to my family

    Chicken & lamb over rice plate
    Mike G.

    Went for lunch & got chicken & lamb over rice plate. It was delish & I was stuffed! I also tried the baklava, and it was light and yummy! It's more of a takeout place, but we ate there & it was fine. Quiet and clean! The food was also in my hand in like 2 min. The service was fast & the dude was pleasant. I'll be baaack!

Sahara Mediterranean Cuisine had great reviews, so we decided to give it a try--and we're so glad we did. We arrived around 5:30 PM, and the restaurant was already busy. The phone was ringing constantly with takeout orders, which is always a good sign. The husband and wife owners greeted us warmly, seated us right away, and brought complimentary water while we looked over the menu. We started with the hummus and pita along with the cheese cigars. Both were outstanding. We were told the hummus is made from fresh chickpeas that are slowly cooked rather than canned, and you can absolutely taste the difference. It was incredibly smooth, creamy, and easily some of the best hummus I've ever had. The fresh pita was the perfect complement. Two people in our group ordered the chicken kebabs with rice and the fresh tomato, cucumber, and red onion salad. I ordered the chicken shawarma with rice. It was my first time having authentic chicken shawarma, and it was phenomenal. Everything was seasoned perfectly, fresh, and full of flavor. I honestly can't imagine how anyone could leave a negative review after eating here. From the moment we walked in until the time we left, the food, service, and hospitality were exceptional. If we weren't racing the next morning, I definitely would have tried one of their cheesecakes. The blueberry and pistachio both looked incredible, and judging by the quality of everything else, I'm sure they would have been just as amazing. Before we left, we spent a few minutes talking with the husband, and it only reinforced how much pride they take in what they do. Allentown is lucky to have a restaurant like this. We have nothing comparable where we're from in Connecticut, and if we lived nearby, this would become a regular stop without question.

    We ordered take out and the food was still hot when we got home. The food was amazing and we…read more enjoyed it immensely. Upon arriving I went to the register to pick up the order and was immediately engaged by the gentleman (I believe it was the owner) He was extremely helpful and thanked me for coming in.

We were seated after the people who walked in after us. Some tables received water and no complimentary bread/olives while others received no water but complimentary bread/olives. Our bread was also sitting out for some time as the baker was not present to make it fresh at the time. It appeared very stale. The restaurant was half empty but it took over an hour (in addition to the understood 25 minute maklouba prep) for our main entree to come out. When it did, there was no apology and we had to ask if the accompanying labneh was on its way for the maklouba. The maklouba itself had rice grains not fully cooked. The server was avoiding eye contact as we tried to ask for more napkins, water and an update on our order. It then took another thirty minutes for us to get the check and pay, which was only possible because we got up. We watched as people waited so long to not only be seated but to also check out.
